"A Guide to Transponders in Sailplanes" - updated!

This guide, originally published in Soaring in 2002, and updated in
2004, is now expanded another 10 pages to include information on Mode
S transponders, ADS-B equipment, portable transponder detectors like
the Zaon MRX, and the "glider TCAS" (FLARM).

Other new sections are "Myth-information about transponders" and "Why
doesn't the SSA..." Even if you have a transponder already, you might
enjoy reading those two sections.
